Born in Winter
Gojira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You learn the painful breath of time
Cold mourning stretches out your arms
To the mighty warmth of the golden sun
Seem all have gone insane for gold
All was created out of the night
We're all born from the burst of a star
Expanding force to life where you belong
And in the winter cold, with opened eyes
You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright
One day you'll walk the world and keep in mind
The heart you've been given in winter time
And through the bitter cold, with opened eyes
You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright
The song Born in Winter by Gojira is a powerful anthem about the human experience of struggle and perseverance. The opening verses speak of the rebirth and renewal of life, accompanied by the painful realization of the passage of time. The mourning cold is contrasted with the warmth of the golden sun, symbolizing the startling beauty and light that can be found amidst the hardship of life.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of struggle against the forces that would drive humanity to a state of greed and madness. The lines "Seem all have gone insane for gold" suggest a frenzied pursuit of material wealth, which only serves to deepen the suffering of individuals and societies alike. However, amidst this chaos, there is also a sense of hope and wonder - "All was created out of the night; we're all born from the burst of a star" speaks to the timeless and miraculous nature of existence, of which every person is a part.
The final verses of the song are the most empowering, encouraging the listener to hold onto the strength they have gained from hardship and use it to stand strong in the face of whatever challenges life may throw their way. The imagery of the bitter cold suggests that the fight for survival is ongoing, but that there is always hope in the resilience of the human spirit. The closing lines, "You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright" call upon every person to embrace their own inner strength and live life to the fullest - even in the darkest of times.

Greek translation for one my favourites
Πριν όλα τα πράγματα αναγεννηθούν ξανά
Μαθαίνεις την επώδυνη ανάσα του χρόνου
Ψυχρό πρωί τεντώνει τα χέρια σου
Προς την επιβλητική θέρμανση του χρυσού ήλιο
Φαίνεται πως όλοι έχουν τρελαθεί για το χρυσό
Τα πάντα δημιουργήθηκαν από την νύχτα
Όλοι είμαστε γεννημένοι απο την έκρηξη ενός αστεριού
Την μέρα που θα ζωντανέψεις θα καταλάβεις
Αυξανόμενη δύναμη της ζωής σε εκεινήν που ανήκεις
Και μέσα στο χειμωνιάτικο κρύω,Με ανοιχτά μάτια
Θα βρεις την δύναμη να πολεμίσεις και να σταθείς όρθιος
Μια μέρα θα περιπλανιέσαι στον κόσμο και κράτα στο νου σου
Την καρδιά που σου δώθηκε τον χειμωνιάτικο χρόνο
Και μέσα απο το πικρό κρύο,με ανοιχτά μάτια
Θα βρεις την δύναμη να πολεμίσεις και να σταθείς όρθιος
